Cobham Unveils First SAILOR Terminal for Iridium Certus

Cobham Unveils First SAILOR Terminal for Iridium Certus

30 May 2017

SAILOR 4300 is ready for Iridium’s next generation L-band satellite communications service in 2018

Nor-Shipping 2017, Oslo - Cobham SATCOM has
unveiled its first Iridium Certus ConnectedTM terminal at
Nor-Shipping 2017, the SAILOR 4300. Due to go live in the first
half of 2018, Iridium CertusSM is a new portfolio of
global satellite services powered by Iridium® NEXT, a
ground-breaking second-generation L-band global satellite
constellation established to deliver an uncompromising solution for
the future of global maritime communications.

"The SAILOR 4300 for Iridium Certus is designed for users to
get the most from Iridium's next generation services," said
Casper Jensen, Senior Vice President, Cobham SATCOM. "It
expands our extensive L-band antenna portfolio and complements
SAILOR VSAT antennas, ensuring ship owners and service providers
can choose the best performing, most reliable antenna systems for
all of their needs, from a single, trusted
supplier."

With the first customer shipment expected by the end of 2017,
Cobham SATCOM's new Iridium Certus Connected terminal will be among
the first available for operation on the Iridium NEXT
constellation. Like Iridium's current satellite constellation,
Iridium NEXT features a cross-linked Low-Earth Orbit (LEO)
architecture, providing coverage over 100 percent of the earth's
surface. Iridium Certus will guarantee high bandwidth connectivity
as a primary channel or as an integral part of multi-band
communication networks.

While delivering high-speed, global connectivity as a standalone
terminal, SAILOR 4300 has also been designed for seamless
integration with onboard communication networks, making it an ideal
solution for VSAT service providers to provide a cost-effective,
high-speed secondary/back-up communications channel. SAILOR 4300
provides this capability using a specially designed, easy to
configure VSAT integrator 'smart box'.

"Iridium NEXT uniquely positions us to offer a diverse
portfolio of faster and more affordable global broadband services
and devices for maritime users," said Wouter Deknopper,
vice-president and general manager maritime, Iridium. "On board
terminals are a critical aspect of Iridium Certus services, and
based on experience, we are confident that Cobham SATCOM's SAILOR
4300 will provide the quality our customers need to experience
reliable, high-speed connectivity worldwide."

"Cobham SATCOM is an experienced first-mover in the
development of L-band terminals and is already established as a
market and technology leading enabler within the sector," said
Anders Tue Olsen, Business Manager, L-Band, Maritime Business Unit,
Cobham SATCOM. "SAILOR 4300 for Iridium Certus combines the
same reliability, flexibility and ease of installation inherent to
Cobham SATCOM's existing L-band terminal portfolio, ensuring that
customers moving to Iridium's next generation network experience
the best available service at a very competitive price
point."
